I'm 30 weeks pregnant and want to walk into labor calm, with my partner knowing exactly what his part is.
Build me a small tool for the two of us, not a checklist app. It should tell us what to do and when, working back from my due date. Ask me my due date and my hospital first.
Home screen: how ready we are, and the one thing to do today, in plain words.
Hospital: find what my hospital supplies and what it asks parents to bring, show where you found it, and keep my list short, including what to leave at home. If you are not sure of something, say so.
My partner gets his own page on his phone with his own jobs. When he ticks one, I see it as it happens.
A button for "labor starts tonight" that shows only what is still not packed, in the order to grab it, and who does each.
When I tell you something changed (my partner works nights, family can only help some days), update the plan and tell me what moved.
Say in the tool that this is a guide and my hospital or midwife has the final say. Calm design that works on a phone. Reply with the link when it is ready.

What you get
- One thing to do today, worked out backwards from your due date, instead of a long list.
- What your hospital supplies, with where it was found, so you pack less and know what to leave at home.
- A page for your partner on his own phone, where he ticks his jobs and you see it as he does.
- An if-labor-starts-tonight card with only what is still unpacked, in the order to grab it.
- A plan that changes when you tell SuperCat something changed, and says what moved.
What usually gets in the way
- A generic list does not know your due date, so nothing is urgent until it suddenly is.
- You and your partner each assume the other is packing the documents and the phone charger.
- Some items cannot be packed until the last day and are forgotten.
- The other tasks before the birth, like the car seat, live in a separate set of notes.
- Family keeps asking what is ready.
The longer story
The last weeks before a birth are less a packing problem than a question of feeling ready. The hard part is not the list: it is knowing which list applies to your hospital, what to leave at home, and what your partner is covering.
A plan that works back from your due date turns it into one thing to do today. Splitting the work between two people, each with their own page, fixes the usual failure: two people each assuming the other has the documents or the charger.
This is a planning guide, not medical advice: your hospital or midwife will tell you what they supply and what to bring.
